MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “On my first April 25 as Prime Minister, I entrust to the Corriere columns some reflections which I hope will help make this anniversary a moment of rediscovered national harmony in which the celebration of our newfound freedom will help us to understand and strengthen Italy’s role in the world as an essential bulwark of democracy. And I do it with the serenity of those who have seen these reflections fully mature within the ranks of their own political party now 30 years ago, without ever departing from them over the long years of political and institutional commitment. In fact, for many years, and as any honest observer recognizes, the parties representing the right in Parliament have declared their incompatibility with any nostalgia for fascism”. The Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni writes it in her letter to “Il Corriere della Sera” on the day of the liberation festival.
“All over the world autocracies are trying to gain ground on democracies and are becoming more and more aggressive and threatening, and the risk of a union that could lead to the subversion of the international order that liberal democracies directed and built after the end of the second conflict world and the dissolution of the Soviet Union is unfortunately real. In this new bipolarity, Italy has made its choice of sides, and it is a clear choice. We are on the side of freedom and democracy, without ifs and buts, and this is the best way to update the message of April 25th. Because with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, our freedom is back in real danger” continues the premier” This is a belief that I strengthened thanks to the meeting with an extraordinary woman, Paola Del Din. During the Resistance he fought with the Osoppo Brigades, formations of secular, socialist, monarchist and Catholic inspiration. She was the first Italian woman to parachute in wartime. Her courage earned her a gold medal for military valor, which still today, almost seventy years after receiving it, she displays on her chest with touching pride. She says of the Resistance: ‘Time has renamed us Partisans, but we were Patriots, I have always been and still are. In republican Italy she was a teacher of Letters and, despite her almost one hundred years of her life, she continues to accept invitations to speak in the schools of Italy and the value of Freedom. I dedicate this day to her, mother of four children and grandmother of as many grandchildren, but also, ideally, of all Italians who put love for their country before any ideological opposition” concludes Giorgia Meloni.
